Born and raised in beautiful Sweden I spent most of my days outdoors playing in the garden, exploring the forest, bathing in lakes, cycling down to the coast or helping out in the nearby stables. I guess it was inevitable that my connection to nature would influence most of my career later on in life! I have always had a wild imagination soaking up fairy tales and stories about goblins, fairies, gnomes and fantasizing how ancient mythological beings hid among the trees in the deep forest. I would see little bits of magic in everyday things, hidden elements that you could see if you just observed everything carefully and let your fantasy wander.
I am fascinated with everything delicate and beautiful; I love fantastical things, mystery and mythology and I’ve always been very curious about the universe, geology, biology and nature in general. I express all this in my art, creating mostly realistic visuals with a touch of magical undertones.
I work mainly with digital media which I’m self-taught in to create my artworks, but I also enjoy the occasional traditional way of sketching and painting. Outside fantasy artworks I am also a game artist and designer and have co-founded “RoKabium Games” which released our first game title “Something Ate My Alien” in June 2020. I am a highly creative person and I love trying out new things both digitally and traditionally such as 3D modelling, game design, clay modelling, paper craft, crocheting, jewellery design, photography etc.
